Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Yeah I have a daily, but sometimes I get sick of driving it lol. The only time I got behind the wheel of the R32 on the weekend was to reverse it in and out the garage lol

Good to hear your car will be all fixed now :)

Here is what colliding with another motorbike at 80kph can do to your hand:

Spending $350 on gloves pays off. Could have been alot worse ... a broken hand/wrist instead of broken and bruised fingers.

Working/typing one handed sucks :)

Ahh the only joys of working in a factory 3/4 empty now is the storage space :) Cars under cover and outta the rain/hail...whats the bet it hails on the way home though? f**king washed it yesterday as well....

You northern boys, what do you do with your car oil after you've done oil change?? I've got like 50 odd litres that i've gotta get rid of!

paid for my oil cooler back on 12/08/2009, the guy has been sick as with a chest infection, and then he said he will post it on 11/09/2009, no correspondence since. Hes a moderator so im sure im not getting ripped off, but just getting impatient!

Tip it down the sewer or leave it on salisbury highway somewhere.

nah just playing :) there's somewhere around you can legally dump it for a fee i believe.

were currently building a collection at my house to get rid of in bulk.

Wish my hand got off as lightly as yours Ruby when the bandsaw at work took a bite out of it:(

Yoicks! :) Powertools are evil.

My pinky and middle finger are bruised, but I can move them. My second finger got pretty crushed in the impact ... its purple and black all over. Was as thick as my thumb yesterday, but most of the swelling has gone down now. Its just numb constantly now ... no pain, unless I bump it or try bending at the knuckles. The fracture is between the knuckle and finger nail, so there's nothing that can be done to it, apart from keeping it out of harms way.

The gloves are brilliant and offer maximum protection (same stuff as what the MotoGP boys wear), but the tips of the fingers are still only covered in leather only. At 80kph it isn't going to be 100% protection anyway. :)

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
